My Trip to Fort Yukon

So, I was commissioned to paint a mural of smerfs in the waiting room of a dental clinic on Fort yukon, Alaska. They flew me out, and we flied in a little caravan. 

This is the main road in Fort Yukon. On the right, past the telephone pole is the little market. Everything is way overpriced; sodas are like four to five dollars. 

This is the combined medical and dental clinic. I was impressed to see a building like this in a village. 

This is one of my outlines...Day one was just the pencil outlines, freehand, and then some of them i got to put the black outlines down. 

Day two was mostly spent finishing these two, and outlining the others. 


Day three I spent fifteen hours painting, and was able to finish all the others. The next morning i coated them all with varnish. 




This little guy was everyones favorite...

Me with the dentist and his assistance. From left to right: Shannon, Ron Adair, Corrina, Me and Sheryl. It took me three days to finish. This is my second Mural ever; the first one on a flat wall. (the first one i did ever was on support beams, to make them look like birth trees, also in  dental clinic). 

The ride home, as copilot; well not really, cause he didn't let me drive. 

Day four, flying home....
